I can relate to everyone's post. The delusions!!! Those were the comfort. Everything was so painful and confusing that the delusions were necessary to somehow make everything make sense. Of course, they were temporarily comforting and never came true. My husband said to me, "I used to do the exact same things." Well, first, my husband has a gift for exageration. Second, he did things to get attention. He admits that. And, he says that no matter what he did, his mother always loved him. I said, well there's the difference. My mother clearly indicated that she didn't like me much. I'm sure she loved me, like a mother loves a child. But, she often treated me with contempt. That much I was clear about. He agreed. I think she was convinced I was evil. How could she produce such a child? Must have been shameful for her.
There was no such thing as ADHD when I was young. That was a very long time ago and the illness had not been identified yet.
I truly appreciate everyone's post. It is great to know I'm not the Lone Ranger.
